Workout for Thursday, June 24, 2010

My, what a lovely-looking bunch of people. Why is it, though, that only I look like I've been hosed down at the end of the workout? Kudos to Suzanne for taking the photo. (L to R: Coach Mike, Scott, Marie, Deena, Allen, Bev, Victoria) CONDITIONS:Very warm. Temperature 88*(Index 94*)/Humidity 69%/Wind 9mph SSW. Oh, there was wind? Actually there was.

BENEFITS

Effort-Based Training:- short periods of stress, followed by rest, is the key to increased fitness- workouts will leave you tired, but not so tired you could not do the same workout in two-to-three days

Tempo Runs:- teach the athete to run relaxed at efforts close to racing effort- teach the body to use lactate more efficiently
